Exit Interview Playbook: Turn Employee Exits Into a Retention System That Cuts Turnover

Three things happen to a company with no exit interview system.

Your best people walk out and you never learn the real reason.

The exact problem that pushed them out stays in place and takes the next hire.

And the bill - recruiting, onboarding, lost output - gets written off as "normal turnover."

It happens because exits feel like an ending, so nobody mines them. Yet the person leaving is the one employee withnothing left to hide and everything to tell you - and most companies hand them a three-question form on the last afternoonand file the answers forever. A 200-person company at 20% turnover writes off around $740,000 a year this way.

This book stops all three.

The system that does it:

• The 15-Criteria Maturity Checklist - shows which of the three is already bleeding you, in 10 minutes.
• The 38-Question Survey - pulls the real reason out before it leaves the building.
• The Analytics Loop - turns raw answers into the pattern behind your turnover.
• The ROI Model - puts a hard number on what each exit costs and what fixing it saves.
